For her early September wedding chose a beautiful autumnal scheme using seasonal golds and burnt oranges. Emi's autumnal bouquet of gold chrysanthemums, burnt orange germinis, combo roses, leucadendron and red oak leaves.

I had a friend come for coffee today, it was so dark I had to put the lamps on, and definitely a little 'nippy' so the central heating went on, and candles were lit for effect, so there is no Indian Summer here. I do love it when visitors come and the house is all cleaned, and the flowers are arranged. And then afterwards, when they have left and the house is empty and still, clean and sweet smelling....bliss! And my kind visitor brought me a present too, how thoughtful, a lovely miniature rose. I am blessed today! How do you feel about having visitors? Does it stress you out, or do you take it in your stride?  I would have absolutely hated it, in days gone by, had I been a Society Lady and people just called in to take a nosey at my house and eat all I had to offer, but then I suppose one had servants to keep the place in order and make and serve the food, and it was an amusement. I once saw in a magazine a brilliant hand painted sign warning people not to stare in at the wind
